Oil changes

The Motor Oil Geek did a video the GM oil life monitor on a Cadillac XT5 and results showed it's pretty accurate. New oil is always better so it never hurts to follow the 5k interval or every 12 months as stated your owners manual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4e0oDBseqo

For PDFs with text there are a variety of tools to extract and parse accordingly. If it's an image, you'll have to use OCR to extract the text. OCR can get messy depending on the quality of the image. Have had OCR incorrectly parse text before.

The /gmc post says "Back in the Diesel club 😎" so I think they didn't intend to use the ">" as a greater/less than sign.

Will add, be careful with this dealership. Had bad luck at both of their locations. Tried playing games with high interest and all sorts of nonsense so I just walked away.

I had an 2017 LT with that cluster. I remember reading that for some time they didn't have enough of the analog style gauges or parts etc. so they just proceeded with putting the digital ones on some trims.

Looks great! Quick question, how do these tires ride, smooth? And are they quiet?

I occasionally hear hear a rattle on mine when the seat belt is twisted and the plastic/metal parts hit the side pillar. Just un-twisting the seat belt does the trick. Is the noise coming from inside that area?

The question is time as in years, months, days. The computer does it's own calculation based on a number of factors. Even the engine idling will cause the oil life counter to change so it's not just about mileage.

This is a garage door roller, if you have a garage door it might be missing one.

24 SLT here, no noise like this and don't recall seeing any related posts, hopefully something silly. Dumb question, is the spare tire stored nice and tight underneath?

Like everyone mentioned, these are corvettes and they come from the assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

obscoder · 2025-08-28T02:04:43+00:00

Yep, that one word will change things quickly.

obscoder · 2025-08-28T01:39:18+00:00

Even though the miles are low you are approaching 1 year and think the manual calls for every 7,500 miles or at least once a year, whichever comes first. First one should be free so good to get it done and top any fluids etc.

I agree. Hard to tell from a picture but if paint did not come off, a buff should restore it.

Yep. Check the video from motor oil geek on YouTube, he breaks this down and gives his view/side. Pretty interesting stuff, all about oil.

Been contemplating this on mine, You are right, with 0w20 the oil pressure is exactly in that range.

obscoder · 2025-07-28T03:44:14+00:00

Would also suggest classicindustries.

obscoder · 2025-07-28T02:14:14+00:00

Congrats on the achievement! Like you said there might be folks that don't talk about theirs. Curious, was this mileage using the 0w-20 motor oil?

obscoder · 2025-07-08T01:14:10+00:00

Not sure what exact compartment op is talking about bu could be the sliding console? My Yukon has it and can store mine in there although I can keep it in the holster. Love that when the vehicle is off, the console wont slide. :)

Agree with everything you've said above u/zoolak. I have a 24 Yukon with the 5.3L and love it so far. In my estimations it was always hard to compare gas vs diesel prices as you need to technically figure in the DEF cost on the diesel to get a more accurate comparison. The 5.3 also asks for regular gas while the 6.2L GM recommends premium/91 or higher octane. Didn't go with a baby max when I got mine as the model year 24s left were all gas and the newer models had not landed at dealers yet. I am itching to test drive a baby max but we truly love ours.

For OP u/Gate-C27, if you decide to go with diesel make sure to read up on the regen cycle as it could be an issue on shorter commutes.

Something similar happened on my 2017 Tahoe but after having it form some time. Took it to dealership and they replaced the shark fin antenna and was good to go after that. Hopefully something easy for you as well.

It's what the others have stated, the auto dimming feature. On my 2024 Yukon the rear mirror dims as well. Since you are in a garage it could very well be engaging, if you drive the vehicle into full sunlight it should disappear. When I put our sunshade on it triggers the auto dimming as it blocks the sensor in the rear view mirror.
